Audience interaction is a big part of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” And so, Dave Cortez, who is directing the Woodlawn Black Box Theatre production, has invited people to sit in on — and participate in — rehearsals. “The actors have been practicing with real people so they are more than ready,” Cortez said. The musical is about a group of misfits (and four audience members) participating in a spelling bee. Take note: The content on Saturday nights — including the words that the participants will be asked to spell — will be a little racier than other performances. The cast includes Ben Scharff (from left), Carlye Gossen, Jo Hogan and Lauren Ashley.
